[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

I have just had my elevenses and two names have eminated from the leaves.

Calum Elliot on loan from the Jam Tarts. The other one is worrying. The pattern of the leaves suggests a stodgy, elongated french fry. Mark De Vries.  :010: :010:

:015: :015: :015: sorry johndo, you and you tea leaves have truelly lost it, de vries ?? no way we can afford him

[RiG]

Where is De Vries? Last I had heard he was at Leicester but had gone somewhere on loan?

[ictchris]

De Vries went back to Holland I think.

Elliot would be a decent signing.  I am not sure about loans though.

[kencar]

De Vries is back at Leicester now

[Pele_Is_God]

As far as I understand hearts are willing to farm out elliot for a season, but not to a premier league side.But yeah he's the type of player we should be looking at :003:.

And as for De Vries, no thanks :015:

:015:

IHE tea leaves must come wrapped in the Daily Express!!

Just read the VERY strikers he's named are interesting Dunfermline - he did forget to mention Kevin Harper though

[Kingsmills]

Kevin Harper is well past his best.

PARS BID TO SIGN DE VRIES IS OVER

DUNFERMLINE V RANGERS

By Gary Ralston

JIM LEISHMAN has finally admitted defeat in his bid to sign Mark de Vries.

The Dunfermline boss and his chairman John Yorkston spent yesterday attempting to pull together a contract that would see the former Hearts striker make his debut against Rangers.

But they had to call off talks when it became clear the deal was too rich for the Pars, even as a loan signing.

Dutch star De Vries is on around £7000 a week at Leicester and although he would happily return to Scotland, he is now set to focus on rebuilding his career at the Walkers Stadium.

elliot would be a brilliant signing - foolishly put him in my dream team when i hoped he be getting a regular game at tynie.. :006:

[ictchris]

I see ex-Clyde loan star Adam Proudlock is without a club after being released by Ipswich.  Could he be tempted North?  He has had a host of disciplinery problems so might be a risk.

Hamilton looks as though he could end up at the fifers.... if he is going to be released on a free by Motherwell then I don't see why CC wouldn't put in an offer for him???

[kencar]

If Jim Hamilton was decent he wouldn't have played for 10 different teams in as many years. Him turning us down for County was a blessing in disguise.

Any truth in rumours that CC said he was waiting to see the CV's of 2 young players we are interested in?? I wonder what a players CV looks like anyway  :006:

If Jim Hamilton was decent he wouldn't have played for 10 different teams in as many years. Him turning us down for County was a blessing in disguise.

He has obviously been good enough to a job for all those teams over the years otherwise he wouldn't be given an option of a contract somewhere else  :006:

I think he would be an ideal signing for us an not a player that would fall out with the club if he wasn't first team every week.  He has plenty of SPL experience and wouldn't demand a massive contract or a fee for that matter.  I'm struggling to see a downside???? (apart from the fact he played for the tinks but lets face it half our team have also been that idiotic)

[Yngwie]

Well IHE's predictions came up with every name but McSwegan. What went wrong?!

[Kingsmills]

To e fair who on earth would have predicted that ?
